7 Days. 4 Great Lakes. The Most Epic Cruise You’ve Never Heard Of

🌊 Cruising the Great Lakes with Viking Polaris | Niagara, Mackinac Island & More! 🇺🇸🇨🇦
We just spent 7 unforgettable days sailing across North America’s Great Lakes aboard the Viking Polaris, and this is not your typical cruise. From the Harley-Davidson heritage of Milwaukee, to the charming horse-drawn world of Mackinac Island, and an absolutely soaked finale under Niagara Falls, this itinerary surprised us at every turn!
Along the way, we:
🚢 Explored 4 of the 5 Great Lakes (Superior will have to wait!)
🥂 Had a surprise champagne Zodiac toast in the middle of Lake Erie
🚴 Rode a tandem bike (badly) around Mackinac Island
🌆 Visited cities like Detroit and Toronto
🍫 Tasted world-famous fudge and Coney Island dogs
💦 Got totally drenched aboard the Hornblower at Niagara Falls
🍽️ Toured the ship’s galley with Chef Willy and relaxed in the Nordic spa
✨ And sailed through the Welland Canal under moonlight
Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or new to expedition sailing, this Great Lakes cruise with Viking is an eye-opening, luxurious, and slightly misty adventure worth watching!
